my buddy gave me his hold climber, that he didnt use, its pretty comfy and not too heavy about 24-23 pounds, but my only issue is i dont know if it is too loud or not. (the reason i dont know is cause i am a newb i am gonna be in my third year of hunting)

practice with it in the back yard. it will be loud attaching and climbing with it, but once you get up and rested in the tree, see if it makes any creeks or sounds when you stand up/sit down, or turn side to side.

climbers are great because you can pick a tree on the spot and go up, but they are loud and take time while climbing. the idea is to get to the spot an hour earlier than you wouls if there was a ladder stand there, so you have time to let things quiet down and settle down after the sound made climbing.

Buy you a can of liquid foam and squirt small shots in the tubing...

Many of todays new climbers are very quiet. If an old climber is making noise....work with it as best you can, but if it continues to make alot of noise, then do not use it.

My climber is virtually noise free once I stop climbing.

I use Pam cooking spray. It quiets down the squeaks and causes no smells that alarm the deer. What kind is it?

The PAM idea seems a good one, I've used vegetable oil before also. I now use graphite exclusively, doesn't rot, or turn colors. By the by, if your stand makes "any" noise once you're up, I would get rid of it.

it only makes noise when i am climbing, but the noise isnt creakin, its the noise of it goin up the tree.

It'll be fine for now. Until you get used to using it, the grunting and groaning from learning will cover up any noise the stand makes.

You fix that noise, you'll be a millionaire!!!
